There is in Canada

You might be able to find a wiring diagram in the manuals here: The post is in the Cx-5 thread but it has manuals for different models. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2016-and-up-cx-5-service-manual.123880695/post-6797452

Look and design is subjective, and everyone have different taste. But me too, i don’t like that new 7 series look. The split headlight in the front reminds me too much of 2019 Cherokee and 2019 Kona. And I didn’t like the split headlight trend then. And at night then you see both set of...

Because it is about the same price as the CX-70. It is a lot smaller, but a lot of us were hoping the CX-70 would be smaller than it is. For me, the CX-70 is too big for my need, I already have a CX-9, so if the CX-70 would have been smaller it could have replaced our second car, but now it...

The CX-80 should be the equivalent of the CX-8. Which was a shorter CX-9 and was available in other markets. I really don’t expect to have it come to North-America, just like we never had the CX-8. It will likely be the rest of the world version of the CX-90.

That’s interesting, because (on paper at least) the PHEV only gains a 4hp gain from 93, and i don’t believe the skyactiv 4 cylinders are known from benefitting from high octane fuel. The premium fuel must provide benefits lower in the powerband then, which wouldn’t show in the HP rating...

With regards to a 2021, you just need to make sure it doesn’t fall within that VIN range: • 2021 CX-9 (US/Canada spec 2.5T with 10.25" center display) with VINS from JM3TC******509027 - 541070 (produced from October 6, 2020 to September 13, 2021) • 2021 CX-9 (Canada/Mexico spec 2.5T with 7" or...

The jet black mica is a really good black in my opinion. My neighbour got a new CX-90 jet black mica and its black was stunning compared to the other black cars from my other neighbours (Volvo XC-60, Tesla model 3). Of course, it got dirty within a few days ;) but all black cars do that. Also...

This TSB below also applies (look into the brake judder section of the document). It is commonly called brake warping, but PTguy is correct that they don’t technically warp (and he linked a good technical article on the subject, I learned something new.)...

Warped discs maybe ? How old are your brake discs ? Have you had your brake serviced recently?

@Ninja_Matt thanks a lot for the detailed clarification. I didn't know some brands would restrict to the point of only accepting returns at the same dealer ! That is insane.

I am in Ottawa. My experience with the car market is terrible here. Prices are high and dealers give nothing for trade-in. Thankfully I am within reach of Montreal and the GTA, so I usually buy my cars there. I will take a look at the market in the GTA and see if I can spot one of those deals...

Correct. I should have been clearer, but that is not the reason I started this thread. I wanted to better understand the nuances of leasing, and try to figure out why the leasing numbers in my calculations were not very advantageous. Agreed financing and keeping a car for a long time is the...
